    Went into this thinking ephebophillia was some pseudo or old medical diagnosis for fat people, like “Oh, they don’t need insulin, they just need to eat right and excersize enough. They have an addiction to sweats and inaction”

        In the mean time, I heard that there are actually insulin in most phamacies such as walmart that are $25 a vial. No prescription needed and no insurance needed (you need to ask a pharmacist tho). They are supposedly less effective and less reliable? But can still keep you alive at least.

        This is not medical advice and I’m not a doctor.

          Yes, but extremely physically irritating and “watered down” per family, making even basic control very challenging, and pain inducing.

          Truth is, none of the formulae for insulin have changed much since the 80s when recombinant insulin came into the market. Nonetheless, price had increased by ~2000% (not a typo) since initial introduction in the mid 80s.

          I figured it was kind of like narcan in that they give it out here to whoever asks. I haven’t had the misfortune of having to use it yet (either on myself or someone else) but it is kind of nice to have on hand.

      Oh, a common punchline in these is libright coming out of nowhere with apologia for reducing the age of consent. Nothing to do with insulin. Unfortunately, it does have some truth to it - self-professed libertarians often find the oddest places to bring up such topics.
